Genie’s newest accessory for several models of GS™ scissor lifts improves awareness of the perimeter around the scissor lift. Lift Guard™ Zone Lighting features red laser lights that create a visual boundary at ground level about 2 ft / 61 cm from the edge of the chassis.

“Employers are increasingly focused on collision and entrapment avoidance, as well as dropped object protection,” said Bryan Williams, Genie Product Manager.

“Providing information to the people working on or around scissor lifts helps increase awareness of their surroundings, potentially reducing the risk of these types of incidents.”

The bright beam is about 0.6 in / 15 mm thick and visible in any indoor lighting condition. The light uses a glass lens that will not fade over time, unlike plastic LED lights. This helps operators see the perimeter clearance and signals nearby workers that they may be entering the scissor lift’s work zone.

Installation is simple, and both the lights and harness routing are protected by brackets to prevent damage from falling objects. 

“Genie is actively improving and expanding available options and accessories across our product lines. The goal is to help end users be more productive and provide rental companies with tools to increase fleet utilization,” Williams said.
